Description

IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS REPLICATION
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED INVENTION
This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application serial number 62/204,239 filed August 12, 2015.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. More particularly, the invention provides novel inhibitors of HIV, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and methods for using these compounds in the treatment of HIV
infection.
The invention also relates to methods for making the compounds hereinafter described.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been identified as the etiological agent responsible for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a fatal disease characterized by destruction of the immune system and the inability to fight off life threatening opportunistic infections. Recent statistics indicate that an estimated 35.3 million people worldwide are infected with the virus (UNAIDS: Report on the Global HIV/AIDS
Epidemic, 2013). In addition to the large number of individuals already infected, the virus continues to spread. Estimates from 2013 point to close to 3.4 million new infections in that year alone.
In the same year there were approximately 1.6 million deaths associated with HIV and AIDS.
Current therapy for HIV-infected individuals consists of a combination of approved anti-retroviral agents. Over two dozen drugs are currently approved for HIV
infection, either as single agents or as fixed dose combinations or single tablet regimens, the latter two containing 2-4 approved agents. These agents belong to a number of different classes, targeting either a viral enzyme or the function of a viral protein during the virus replication cycle. Thus, agents are classified as either nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), integrase inhibitors (INIs), or entry inhibitors (one, maraviroc, targets the host CCR5 protein, while the other, enfuvirtide, is a peptide that

2 targets the gp41 region of the viral gp160 protein). In addition, a pharmacokinetic enhancer with no antiviral activity, i.e., cobicistat, available from Gilead Sciences, Inc.
under the tradename TYBOSTTm (cobicistat) tablets, has recently been approved for use in combinations with certain antiretroviral agents (ARVs) that may benefit from boosting.
In the US, where combination therapy is widely available, the number of HIV-related deaths has dramatically declined (Palella, F. J.; Delany, K. M.; Moorman, A.
C.;
Loveless, M. 0.; Furher, J.; Satten, G. A.; Aschman, D. J.; Holmberg, S. D. N.
Engl.
Med. 1998, 338, 853-860).
Unfortunately, not all patients are responsive and a large number fail this therapy. In fact, initial studies suggest that approximately 30-50% of patients ultimately fail at least one drug in the suppressive combination. Treatment failure in most cases is caused by the emergence of viral resistance. Viral resistance in turn is caused by the replication rate of HIV-1 during the course of infection combined with the relatively high viral mutation rate associated with the viral polymerase and the lack of adherence of HIV-infected individuals in taking their prescribed medications. Clearly, there is a need for new antiviral agents, preferably with activity against viruses already resistant to currently approved drugs. Other important factors include improved safety and a more convenient dosing regimen than many of the currently approved drugs.
Compounds which inhibit HIV replication have been disclosed. See, for example, the following patent applications: W02007131350, W02009062285, W02009062288, W02009062289, W02009062308, W02010130034, W02010130842, W02011015641, W02011076765, W02012033735, W02013123148, W02013134113, W02014164467, W02014159959, and W02015126726.
What is now needed in the art are additional compounds which are novel and useful in the treatment of HIV. Additionally, these compounds may desireably provide advantages for pharmaceutical uses, for example, with regard to one or more of their mechanisms of action, binding, inhibition efficacy, target selectivity, solubility, safety profiles, or bioavailability. Also needed are new formulations and methods of treatment which utilize these compounds.

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The compounds of the invention herein described may typically be administered as pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions are comprised of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and may contain conventional excipients and/or diluents. A therapeutically effective amount is that which is needed to provide a meaningful patient benefit. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those conventionally known carriers having acceptable safety profiles. Compositions encompass all common solid and liquid forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges, and powders, as well as liquid suspensions, syrups, elixirs, and solutions. Compositions are made using available formulation techniques, and excipients (such as binding and wetting agents) and vehicles (such as water and alcohols) which are generally used for compositions. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA (1985).
Solid compositions which are normally formulated in dosage units and compositions providing from about 1 to 1000 milligram ("mg") of the active ingredient per dose are typical. Some examples of dosages are 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, and

34 mg. Generally, other antiretroviral agents will be present in a unit range similar to agents of that class used clinically. Typically, this is about 0.25-1000 mg/unit.
Liquid compositions are usually in dosage unit ranges. Generally, the liquid composition will be in a unit dosage range of about 1-100 milligram per milliliter ("mg/mL"). Some examples of dosages are 1 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, and 100 mg/mL. Generally, other antiretroviral agents will be present in a unit range similar to agents of that class used clinically. Typically, this is about 1-100 mg/mL.
The invention encompasses all conventional modes of administration; oral and parenteral methods are preferred. Generally, the dosing regimen will be similar to other antiretroviral agents used clinically. Typically, the daily dose will be about milligram per kilogram ("mg/kg") body weight daily. Generally, more compound is required orally and less parenterally. The specific dosing regimen, however, will be determined by a physician using sound medical judgment.
The compounds of this invention desireably have activity against HIV.
Accordingly, another aspect of the invention is a method for treating HIV infection in a human patient comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluent.
The invention also encompasses methods where the compound is given in combination therapy. That is, the compound can be used in conjunction with, but separately from, other agents useful in treating AIDS and HIV infection. The compound can also be used in combination therapy wherein the compound and one or more of the other agents are physically together in a fixed-dose combination (FDC). Some of these agents include HIV attachment inhibitors, CCR5 inhibitors, CXCR4 inhibitors, HIV cell fusion inhibitors, HIV integrase inhibitors, HIV nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HIV protease inhibitors, budding and maturation inhibitors, HIV capsid inhibitors, anti-infectives, and immunomodulators, such as, for example, PD-1 inhibitors, PD-Li inhinitors, antibodies, and the like. In these combination methods, the compound of Formula I will generally be given in a daily dose of about 1-100 mg/kg body weight daily in conjunction with other agents. The other agents generally will be given in the amounts used therapeutically.
The specific dosing regimen, however, will be determined by a physician using sound medical judgment.

Examples of nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors include abacavir, didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, stavudine, tenofovir, zalcitabine, and zidovudine.
Examples of non-nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors include delavirdine, efavirenz, etrivirine, nevirapine, and rilpivirine.
5 Examples of HIV protease inhibitors include amprenavir, atazanavir, darunavir, fosamprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir and, tipranavir.
An example of an HIV fusion inhibitor is enfuvirtide or T-1249.
An example of an HIV entry inhibitor is maraviroc.
Examples of HIV integrase inhibitors include dolutegravir, elvitegravir, or raltegravir.
10 An example of an HIV attachment inhibitor is fostemsavir.
An example of an HIV maturation inhibitor is BMS-955176, having the following structure:

Biological Methods Inhibition of HIV replication: A recombinant NL-RLuc proviral clone was constructed in which a section of the nef gene form NL4-3 was replaced with the Renilla Luciferase gene. This virus is fully infectious and can undergo multiple cycles of replication in cell culture. In addition, the luciferous reporter provides a simple and easy method for quantitating the extent of virus growth and consequently, the antiviral activity of test compounds. The plasmid pNLRLuc contains the proviral NL-Rluc DNA
cloned into pUC18 at the Pvull site. The NL-RLuc virus was prepared by transfection of 293T
cells with the plasmid pNLRLuc. Transfections were performed using the LipofectAMINE PLUS kit form Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer and the virus generated was titered in MT-2 cells. For susceptibility analyses, the titrated virus was used to infect MT-2 cells in the presence of compound, and after 5 days of incubation, cells were processed and quantitated for virus growth by the amount of expressed luciferase. Assay media was RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 units/ml penicillin G/100 units/ml streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES buffer pH 7.55 and 2 mM L-glutamine. The results form at least 2 experiments were used to calculate the EC50 values. Luciferase was quantitated using the Dual Luciferase kit form Promega (Madison, WI). Susceptibility of viruses to compounds was determined by incubation in the presence of serial dilutions of the compound. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) was calculated by using the exponential form of the median effect equation where (Fa) = 1/[1+ (ED50/drug conc.)9 (Johnson VA, Byington RT. Infectivity Assay. In Techniques in HIV Research.
ed.
Aldovini A, Walker BD. 71-76. New York: Stockton Press.1990). Results are shown in Table 1. Activity equal to A refers to a compound having an EC50 < 100 nM, while B and C denote compounds having an EC50 between 100 nM and luM (B) or >luM (C).
